The Chronicle says that the specula-
ton IL cotton for future delivery at New
York has been fairly active for the week
under review, and the course of prices
has tiuctuated 50 sharply and widely as
as to afford the regular room traders full
scope for the employment of their pecu-
liar tactics. There was considerable
decline on Saturday, as the adverse re-
ports from the growing crop lacked con-
1irmatjon: but on Monday the reports
from Georgia and the Carolinas that
heavy rains had caused floods, with con-
tinued dry weather in parts of Texas,
caused buoyant market. On Tuesday
tne failure OF Liverpool to respond to |
our advance was attended by decline, |
and a further yielding of values on
Wednesday morning was followed by a
quick and full recovery on reports Of a |
renewal CT heavy rains in the sections
rbaye named. Or Thursday the market |
vas unsettled, without important change, |
but made some advance in the later deal
irgS, when the speculation was quite
strong. Friday the market was variable
and without important change. Cotton
on tie spot met with moderate de-
:uand for home consumption. There
was 9 decline Of 3-l6c. on Saturday last.
/ iiGuy theco was fair business for home
consumption on the basis Of l0c. for
upiands.
